Unable to Download Exe Files

I am frustrated. I am constantly needing to download exe files. All the programs I am told to use tell me that the files are not compatible with the program. How can I fix this?There are a lot of great programs that I cannot access. All help appreciated...M.

iOS devices can not execute .exe files.
If you want programs for your iPad you have to us the App Store.

  • Unable to download exe files after unblocking, 404 error. handler mappings execute change prevent infopath, export to excel, and sharepoint designer from working.

    I removed .exe from the block list, checked MIME types, all ok,
    I followed this solution: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010setup/thread/b380a13e-a15f-4e32-98cd-12747538ad20?prof=required
    ( go into IIS (I am assuming IIS 7.0) and select the particular web site and click
    handler mappings and Edit feature permissions and
    uncheck the Execute box .)
    It works, I can now open exe files. But it causes other major troubles so far:
    -Cannot Export Lists to Excel
    -Cannot Publish and Save InfoPath forms
    -Cannot edit subsites in SharePoint Designer.
    Does anybody have another solution that won't disable other features? What is the best way to do it? I have SolidWorks Edrawings in .exe that needs to be accessible.
    Thank you.

    Hi Guillaume,
    As you know, if we remove the Execute permission for handle mappings, we will be able to download .exe file from SharePoint server. But as you said, this will cause other issues.
    The another solution to allow to download .exe file is remove the CGI-exe handle mapping from the handle mappings directly. You may need to restart Internet Information Server(IIS). After that, we will be able to download .exe file directly.
    Open the IIS manager
    Select the site from the "Sites" tree
    Double-click "Handle Mappings"
    Right-click "CGI-exe", and then click "Remove"
    Thanks,

  • Unable to download pdf file in windows 8.1

    After upgrading to windows 8.1, i have been unable to download pdf files sent via yahoo email, IE11 and Adobe Reader 11.  Did not have this problem before with windows 8.  I click on the pdf attachment, NOrton says that the file is safe but nothing happens.  Am unable to save the file to my computer either.  Have already reloaded Adobe Reader repeatedly, drivers for window 8.1 associated with the hardware on my system, newest version of internet explorer,, upgraded drivers for my Canon printer and still no downloads!!!
    Can anybody help?  Microsoft community unable to give anymore suggestions.

    Wrong forum (this is Digital Editions), but ...
    I find .pdf files often won't launch properly on my Win8.1.  It starts the process but it doesn't do the right thing.
    Try making sure you don't have any copies of Reader working (AcroRd32.exe on my 32 bit Win 8.1).
    Start a copy from the start screen (or start menu if you've set one up) BEFORE you try to access the file.
    Now try to do the download or open it from the downloads directory.
    I find that way the file will open properly.

    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Unable to download large files via my Mobile Network

    I have unlimited mobile data but I am unable to download large files, like podcasts unless I connect to Wi Fi. My settings are set to use mobile data, is there anything I can do?

    There is a 50meg (recently upgraded from 20) per file download limit over cellular data. No, you can't change that.

  • HT1750 unable to download pdf files with the new lion instillation

    I am unable to download pdf files after installing lion.

    I have an imac purchased 4/2010 and same thing happened to me but can't find anyone to address it. The real tragedy here is that I paid for the full adobe creative suite, web premium back in 2010 and Adobe Pro can't open them, although it worked just fine before. Then I installed the latest version of Adobe reader and tried changing that to my default and that doesn't work either.
    It's pretty lame that I have to go on my boyfriends windows pc to open and print a .pdf as the only alternative. I did not read about this when researching whether or not to upgrade to lion from snow leopard otherwise I would not have kept the old operating system.
    Why isn't apple addressing this???

  • Lightroom 4.4 Download Problem(s).  Since updating I have been unable to download RAW files

    Since updating to LR 4.4, I have been unable to download RAW file formats.  In addition, normal .jpg files stopped working today!  I can successfully still download into LR 3.6 which I kept on my system. 
    I'm shooting with a Canon 1D Mark X and using LR on an iMac.   This is making workflow impossible.  Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

    A couple of tests:
    1. Create a Dummy User account with full Admin Read/Write permissions. Does that fix it?
    2. Make certain your active User account has full Read/Write permissions for the storage location of both: The Catalog, and The Image Files.

  • Safari not downloading exe files for vista

    The only problem I have with Safari is that it won't save downloaded exe files. As the download finalizes, an error box pops up.
    "Windows found that this file is potentially harmful.
    To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file."
    I went to the Windows Security control panel to see if I could turn it off. However, it only offers help for Internet Explorer. Any help is graciously appreciated.

    The hatter is correct. Safari uses the Windows "attachment manager" interface to allow virus checkers and other security software to validate downloaded files.
    More info on the attachment manager:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883260
    It is likely that a virus checker (or related software like Windows Defender) is flagging the files as being infected or otherwise harmful. You might want to check the AVG and Windows Defender logs to see if they indicate any problems.
    Another possibility would be that your system is configured through group policy or via the registry to flag these files as high-risk, which disallows them from being opened. Refer to the Microsoft KB article above for more information.

  • I cannot download exe files. I have no trouble downloading files with other extensions (ex: dta).

    I have an HP Pavilion dm4-2070us computer running Windows 7.  I have the same problem with internet explorer and with Firefox.  The file seems to download but never finishes; it is not in my downloads folder. 

    Hello number1stat, try to temporarily disable your antivirus software and see if that helps, if it does not work then try the following.  This can occur if you have customized your Internet Options Security settings for the Internet zone, if the option, "Launching applications and unsafe files" is set to "Disable". Method 1: Reset your Security settings for the Internet zone to the default level. Go to "Control Panel -> Internet Options" (or use "Start -> Run -> inetcpl.cpl -> OK" to open "Internet Properties") then click the Security tab, select the Internet zone and click "Default level"  Method 2: Set a custom level for security in the Internet zone. Go to "Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security (tab) -> Internet". If security is set to "High", or if you have customized the Internet zone settings, select "Custom level..." and change the single option, "Launching Applications and Unsafe Files" from 'Disable' to 'Prompt (recommended)'. If executable file downloads fail from certain sites but you are able to download exe files from other sites, check in "Internet Options -> Security - > Restricted sites -> Sites" to make sure that the problem site is not in the "Restricted sites" list, as the security level for that zone is High by default. Some Security software, including Spybot S&D, add known malware sites to that listing.

  • Unable to download pdf files from emails or websites

    I used to be able to download pdf files from emails and websites on my Windows vista 2007 computer, but am now unable to save or download them.  Is there something I need to adjust in my security system which hasn't changed?

    If you're using Vista it's the same procedure as with Windows 7 (which I use) From Tools>Internet Options, click the Programs tab, and then click the Set Programs button. In Windows 7 this will open the Control Panel>Default Programs window. From there you want to click Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Scroll down the list to Portable Document Format (PDF). click it and click the Change Program button. Choose Adobe Reader as the default program, click Ok and then PDFs will download instead of opening in IE.

  • Unable to download pdf files from websites

    For a month now I have been unable to dowload PDF Files from websites.
    I have un-installed Adobe Software & re-installed hoping this would solve
    this on going problem. But I am afraid it has not this problem seems to
    have accured since the latest up date of Sarfari I trust Apple are coming up with
    some sort of solution to this current problem ??

    Far as I know the problem isn't on Apple's end. I'm download PDF files with no problem. But I've experienced what you are in the past and I think you were on the right track when you suspected Adobe. In the main Library folder (not the one in your personal directory) there's a folder called Internet Plugins. Look inside for a file called AdobePDFViewer and delete it. If I remember properly, you force Adobe Reader to install a new one by just starting Reader and it will ask if you want to install the PDF reader. Or, you might want to look at this plugin which, in my opinion, beats Adobe's plugin hands down.
